LDAP server authentication - New users import

Hi,

We have set up our production server with Totara LMS to use LDAP authentication.

We imported 19,500 users that were already existing in the AD as users in Totara with mapped data to user profile fields.

Just wondering how new users on the AD are now imported into Totara...?

Is the new user import handled via the included cron script?

Thanks,

-Ira

Hi Ira,

There is a script in "auth/ldap/auth_ldap_sync_users.php" which you need to have running on the cron which will handle updates.

There is a little bit more info here:

Thanks, we have added this to our Crontab.

I believe the user sync is running now
